Foraging is one of the three gathering professions. It is used for harvesting plants and wood in Telara. Foraging is especially useful for the Apothecary profession, but is also useful for weaponcrafters and artificers, which use wood to craft weapons and other items.

When you train as a Novice Forager, three icons will appear in your Abilities book (located bottom left of your screen). The icons are Track Plants, Track Wood and Foraging.

The abilities are straightforward and once activated will indicate on your mini map when a plant or piece of wood is nearby. Mouse over the small diamond on the mini map and the name of the plant/wood will display. These trackers do not have timers so they don't require reactivating. Both trackers can be active at the same time. When a plant or stack of wood is located, simply click on it when you are close enough and your character will gather it. Plants and wood have Foraging level requirements to gather them and if you are not a high enough level the text will be in red.

The most likely place to find a Wood node is at the base of trees or along the coast. Plant nodes can be found anywhere but tend to be in open spaces.

You will need to locate a workbench and be next to it to craft your wood into lumber. No other equipment or supplies are needed.

Beginning with patch 1.6, Foragers can now forage from the corpses of Treants, Boglings, and other plant-based creatures. The plants and wood thus foraged will be equivalent to the plant and wood nodes available in that zone.

Trainers

Each level has certain prerequisites that you must meet before you are able to progress to the next rank of proficiency. Below is a list of locations with links to maps which show where the Trainer can be found. Coordinates are in parentheses which you can find in game via the map (press m) by mousing over the terrain with your cursor.

Skills

Foraging focuses primarily around two tracking skills, Track Wood and Track Plants, which are obtained for free upon training Novice Foraging. Other skills grant the ability to craft raw wood into lumber for use in other professions.

Brevane and Dusken. Although any level 300-375 Foraging resource can appear in any Storm Legion zone, this resource will most often be found in Kingsward, Ashora, Morban, and Steppes of Infinity.

Corpse Harvesting

Beginning with patch 1.6, Foragers can now forage from the corpses of Treants, Boglings, and other plant-based creatures. The plants and wood thus foraged will be equivalent to the plant and wood nodes available in that zone.

This list is intended to help guide you through the fastest way to level Foraging. Remember, the fastest leveling occurs when your Skill is close to the minimum skill required (Orange difficulty). This will change to Yellow 10 points above the minimum, Green 10 points after that, and Gray (trivial; no skill increase) after another 10.
